Take-Two Interactive’s legal effort to identify the source of recent Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks has drawn in a well-known content creator. Court filings seeking records from Discord list the "DarkViperAU editors" server among the communities under review. The server is associated with Australian creator Matthew Judge, better known as DarkViperAU.
Judge has more than two million YouTube subscribers and a large Twitch following built primarily around Grand Theft Auto content. He has covered the latest leaks in detail on his channels, offering breakdowns of the footage attributed to the CyberLeek persona. That visibility appears to be the reason his community was included in the information request.
In a public statement on X, Judge said he knows nothing about the source of the leaks. He clarified that the server named in the subpoena is not his editors Discord and that no clips of the leaked material have been shared in either of his Discord communities. He added that he is confused by the inclusion and noted that Rockstar has not contacted him directly. In his view, if the company believed he possessed relevant information it would have reached out already.
Judge also pointed to an earlier observation he made about the leaker’s apparent difficulty driving in some of the clips. After he repeatedly commented that the driver "can’t drive," later videos from CyberLeek began carrying the phrase "Cyberleek can’t drive." He suggested the leaker may have visited his Discord at some point but said he cannot confirm it.
The broader subpoenas, filed in the Southern District of New York, ask Microsoft and Discord for records that could help identify the CyberLeek account and related users. Discord is required to supply identifying details for accounts that communicated in specific servers between June 1, 2026, and the present. Those servers include ones linked to CyberLeek, CinematicRockstar, Surfer24k and related handles, Odyssey communities, and the DarkViperAU editors link. Microsoft faces a parallel request for internal records tied to its own investigation of the CyberLeek persona, including account data, IP addresses, device identifiers, and related OneDrive content. Both companies have until early September to respond.
DMCA subpoenas of this type are a standard tool for rights holders seeking to unmask anonymous posters of copyrighted material. Naming a public creator’s community does not by itself allege wrongdoing by that creator. It indicates that investigators believe activity connected to the leaks may have occurred in or around those spaces. Judge’s swift public denial and the absence of any direct communication from Rockstar so far leave the mention looking more like a wide net than a targeted accusation.
The leaks themselves continue to surface. Footage attributed to CyberLeek has shown extended sequences of open-world movement, vehicle use, combat, and other systems from what appears to be an early development build. The volume and variety of clips have kept pressure on Take-Two as the company prepares for further official reveals of the game.
Judge has continued streaming and discussing the situation, including a multi-hour broadcast in which he reiterated that he has done nothing wrong. He described the episode as another unusual chapter in a long career covering Rockstar’s games. For the wider community of GTA creators and fans, the naming of a prominent voice in the legal filings serves as a reminder of how quickly secondary discussion spaces can become part of formal investigations once unreleased material begins circulating.
Take-Two has not commented publicly beyond the language in the court documents. Microsoft and Discord have also remained silent. Whether the records ultimately produce useful leads on the CyberLeek account or simply confirm the broad reach of the discussion around the leaks will become clearer after the September deadline. In the meantime, DarkViperAU remains one of the most visible names associated with coverage of the material, even as he insists he has no connection to its origin.
